The Story of Golf at The Country Club was chosen by the United States Golf Association (USGA) as the winner of its annual literary prize, named after the famous American golf writer and historian. Regarded by golfers as the “Pulitzer” of the game, the USGA gives the award to books deemed to make an outstanding contribution to golf literature. In announcing the 2009 award, the organization described The Story of Golf at The Country Club as “beautifully written and elegantly designed” and recognized its “high standard of achievement in golf literature.”
